Welcome to Buckeye Family Trees

Family history is a fascinating pursuit. Our ancestors came to America with high hopes for making a good life. They married, had children, plowed farms, opened shops, and learned trades. Sooner or later, most of them migrated around the country. The journey took many of them into Ohio, gateway to the west in the 1800's.

Sometimes, finding the records your ancestors left behind is fairly straightforward. You might have old family papers, clippings, or photographs to lead the way. You may have heard family stories. Or perhaps you've done a little digging on one of the big genealogy websites, such as Ancestry.com.

But the search for your family can be tricky. Because the truth is, only a fraction of the available genealogical records are online. Most are still tucked away in archives, courthouses, churches, and cemeteries. Finding and analyzing them takes knowledge of the place, time period, and laws in effect. But the results are worth it. Having a clear picture of your family history is a priceless gift to yourself and future generations.

At Buckeye Family Trees, I specialize in helping you discover your family history in Ohio. I work closely with you to determine what you want to know and do, and give your project my utmost care and attention to detail.
